Data security and privacy have become critical concerns in the era of digital communication. Previous research demonstrates that the LSB approach can be used when the secret picture size is less than or equal to 80 × 80 and the maximum number of characters inserted is 8192 characters. In this paper, a system called “Securing data in image using Advanced Encryption Standard” which leverages the AES algorithm to securely hide any type of data within images is proposed. The system aims to provide a simple yet effective approach for securely storing and transmitting sensitive data in the form of images. The system utilizes the AES algorithm, a symmetric encryption algorithm known for its robustness and speed, to encrypt data. The system supports hiding any type of data, not limited to text, within images. The paper discusses the implementation of AES encryption and decryption, along with the techniques used for data hiding in images.
